thx...This from the farmer perspective. Hybrid corn has been around for 60 to 70 years. The seeds will germinate and grow but are not very productive. Corn is now ‘stacked’ with 3 or 4 traits such as, Roundup Resistant, and resistance for cutworms or rootworms. Soybeans in use in the USA are almost all RR and the produce cannot be replanted because of the patent on the seed. Some do and get away with it and some get caught and sued. It is nice to spray Roundup only and rid the fields of weeds, and you can see the difference in corn without built in pest resistance and corn that is in yield and quality. I do not have problems using the products but am leery sometimes of where it all might lead. Some studies show resistance by weeds to roundup, so like always in history, all is not in control, just managed. As far as consumption of GMos I do not know.
thx...Informative post T-Jay.
I grew up in farm country and tend to be pro-innovation but like you I worry about the cumulative effect.
Thanks for your observation.
